THE SPORT SCAN – Dismissed two weeks ago from the Montpellier bench, in great difficulty, Michel Der Zakarian empties his bag.
The story between the MHSC and Michel Der Zakarian did not (at all) end well. Author of a cataclysmic start to the season and bottom of Ligue 1, the Paillade club is worried. To create an electric shock among his troops, who won at home on Sunday against Brest (3-0), Hérault president Laurent Nicollin decided to thank his coach Michel Der Zakarian after the humiliation suffered against Olympique de Marseille (0-5) on October 20. Today without a club, the 61-year-old man is settling scores with Montpellier and is targeting two of his former players, Téji Savanier and Wahbi Khazri.

“Téji Savanier and Wahbi Khazri, I’ve been fighting with them for a year and a half to make them lose weight. But I gave up… It's a question of personal will, and they don't want to lose weight, they think they're fine at that weight. Well no, these are athletes in the face, you can't have five, even eight kilos extra. Over the duration of a match, you explode or you disappear”declared the native of Yerevan in the columns of So Foot, before pointing out the lack of control of the Hérault captain. He is impulsive (Savanier), and that penalizes us. Even though we discussed it with him, when the wires touch, he has trouble controlling himself, dealing with this injustice he feels… Last year, I hoped he would finish the season without getting kicked out , and in Toulouse, he gets one. » This has the merit of being clear.
